Moguai – We Want Your Soul (Size Records)

After releasing a plethora of fresh and challenging tracks into dance music’s collective conscious, Moguai finally bows out of 2010 with a HUGE number. And what a track to release, the pummeling, breaks-infused ‘We Want Your Soul’. For further proof of the German wizards talents, its been snapped up by Steve Angello’s SIZE records label and been given a full release – if Size really does matter, then Moguai’s huge new anthem will be the focal point of the Christmas break.

‘We Want Your Soul’ is typical Moguai fare, with “LYVE”, electrified synth rhythm’s offering a light, jumping track, before the break wades in with pulsing bass-laden stabs, vocal chops and bouncing bass, wrapped in major tonal chords, offering a pounding yet light hearted and party-fuelled banger. Coming in hard like a sledgehammer is Sebjack’s awe-inspiring, room-shaking interpretation.

Stripping back some of the high notes for more of a low key, heads-down sound, this heavy piece of weaponry is straight four-to-the-floor fodder.

Tribal, bouncy and offering the same adrenaline-fuelled rush akin to “jackin’ house”, its peak time, carnal bounce is a tune that will be fully utilized in the coming months. On the other side of the spectrum sits Thomas Gold’s reworking, taking things to a more robotic, electronic tip, fusing big room synth riffs with staunch, unweaving and dark techno beats, effortlessly straddling between hands in the air and heads down fare, utilizing the best of both previous sounds. Another great release to end the year off with a huge bang – and there’s more to come in 2011.

Written & produced by Moguai & Michael “Jaxon” Bellina
